Friday Night @ St Jeromes

Okay, since Yiming is in town, Tian brought us to this little bar in a dodgy alleyway called St Jerome's. Wouldn't even know it existed if not for someone pointing it out to me. It looks kinda seedy but the vibe inside is pretty awesome. They have a shit selection of alcoholic beverages but what the lack in choice, they more than make up for it with atmosphere. This place gave off a cosy vibe and we totally relaxed there for a couple of hours before heading back to Tian's house to relax some more =). You kinda feel like you're somewhere else once u enter St Jeromes, its easy to forget that your in a busy city like Melbourne, you feel isolated from all that buzz that comes from a busy city and you can just hang there for hours. They've got grafitti done outside on the walls, people's creative expression, which unlike Singapore where you get canned for it, is appreciated.

Next to the bar, is an eclectic little store that sells clothes and art by Melbourne-based designers. It was totally random and I bumped into one of my friends who was working there. Didn't know he worked there as well as General Pants, it made more sense when i realised that he actually stocked his own clothing label there, which is called "mont le roc" (i think thats how its spelt). I bought one of his designs which i reckon was pretty mad. He claimed that Andrew G., those Australian idol hosts flew all the way down to get his hands on one of them, also, he said that one of the Beastie Boys might be wearing it... haha, but i bought it because i liked it not because B-list celebrities were wearing it.
